but lots are on their last few blooms.
Wyatt Earp on rebloom, darker in person that this photo

Stella's Ruffled fingers on its 3rd rebloom round. None have had nearly as many blooms as the 1st bloom, but are welcome

Regal Giant is fairly late bloomer & still going strong, please ignore all the weeds!

An oldie, Lavender Deal

Regal Giant is huge, and a favorite. Stella's Ruffled Fingers is a trooper, isn't it? Sort of like Colordo Moonfire here. Weeds? Oh is that what's all over my garden. they like rain, I can tell you that. It is a letdown when the season is in decline, isn't it? But not all bad. You can regroup and plan any improvements and changes.

Who can notice any weeds when there are those lovely blooms to look at. My favorites are Stellas Ruffled Fingers, which is always a trooper in the garden, and Wyatt Earp.

Too many water answers

Andrea - what NORMALLY happens to roses in mild Northern California winters is that they get rained on relentlessly. I live in the North SF Bay Area. In a normal winter (which this one IS NOT), I do not water at all from when it starts raining in late October/mid November until when it stops sometime between March and June. This winter we have had exactly .80 inches of rain so far (they start measuring on July 1), instead of our "normal to date" which for this date is about 15 inches. So, we have been turning our irrigation system back on every time it is dry for about 14 days. Not right now however, because everything is frozen (also NOT normal), and my DH noticed that I "blew up" one of our timers by turning it on the other day. We are hoping that things, or at least the temperatures, will get back to normal soon (not freezing every night), at which time we will start irrigating again unless it rains. Your question is a good one, but this year is so weird that I am not surprised that you are getting different answers... Jackie

Thank you all for looking. Deangreen, as I said, I have had it my entire daylily addiction, but wispy Rays had a number of "group shot' days this season. It was down to one bloom today but has done well. Chris, there is a lot still blooming. My real late ones haven't started blooming yet, which seems odd. A good many of mine are re-blooming though. Jungle Music did not bloom the first year, had fair bloom the second year, and this year (3rd) it has done quite well. It is a beautiful bloom, and an early opener. Mantis, the fourth picture is Aslan. It is new for me this year, but seems a pretty bloom and a decent height as well. Thanks, Jean. there are a lot of pretties still blooming and a lot of them are re-blooming too. My neighbor came over tonight ans told me she thought they were prettier than they had been in several years. Thanks, Debra. and I love your photos as well and am invariably enabled by some of them. Nancy, I wanted a big red late bloom, and this one has filled the bill. It is a huge flower on a tall scape. thanks for looking and commenting. Thanks hostabuff. kay

The daylily plateau is past peak, I was just looking at it again this morning. But the blooms have been hot and heavy non stop since the end of June up there so I have nothing to compain about for sure. When you think that I had hardly any daylilies before last spreing and I must be over 300 now, it really is quite mind boggling. Sometimes I look at it all and wonder how I managed to do this.

Thanks everyone! Nancy, I do have some clumps of veronica in that bed - you can see some in the 'another angle' photo, it's in the middle toward the bottom. I also have veronicastrum, which is the bottom right of that same photo. In addition to those, the coneflowers and the monarda, I have agastache and nepeta (catmint) that are taller accents. The tall nepeta is in both group photos, on the very right, kind of in the middle (Nepeta sibirica 'Souvenir d'AndrÃÂ© Chaudron' , hummingbirds love it) - it's sprawling all over all the daylilies near it, I really need to try to cage it or something next year. Mantis - I have had Crazy Ivan for a few years, in a pot. Late last summer I gave away all but one fan, which I planted in the ground. It's now 2 fans. One scape, not many buds - maybe 8-10. I think it probably would be happier further south, but it's holding it's own. It's on my trade list. Maryl, I'd been wanting Linda Beck for a while, an just got it in late May - 2 fans and it surprisingly put up 2 scapes. I look forward to seeing how it does in future years!

Somehow I thought I had posted more pictures than I did, don't know if it is me or Photobucket. I appreciate all the comments!
Regal Giant really seems bigger & more colorful that it has been in the past, really looks good this year. I like spidery ones & this is a favorite here.
Wyatt Earp is fairly new to my garden, I think this is its 2nd full year & it just gets better all the time. I thought with the color it might be splotchy, but nope.
Lavender deal is an old one, but a fairly late bloomer. nice sturdy plant & the flowers have real substance. Good size flowers that always look good.
